A senior Iranian security official said Tehran will respond to any hostile action against the country and said the era of "hit and run" was over, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Monday.

"The era of hit and run is over in the world and any hostile measure against our country will be responded to by Tehran 10-fold. We are capable to protect ourselves in every field," Tasnim quoted Ali Shamkhani, the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security council as saying.
